Iron Maiden made a video-game-themed music video, and it’s surprisingly not horrible! I’m a big fan of the band’s older stuff, but I haven’t kept up with their more recent material. This video—littered with clever throwbacks for gamers and Maiden fans alike—has me convinced that I should rectify that mistake.

Oh, dammit. Iron Maiden was flying to its first ever intergalactic gig when space pirates ambushed them, blew up their gear ship, and sent everything flying into space. Now they expect you, space roadie, to get it back.

MTV Games and Harmonix's Rock Band is getting a little heavier the week after E3, as the game's community 'zine has revealed that a dozen new Iron Maiden tracks will be released as downloadable content.
